Nick Lowe – I Knew The Bride When She Could Rock And Roll (Guitar)

(E)                                        (E)
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

(E)                                        (A)
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

E                                                        B
Well, the bride was a picture in the gown that her mama wore

             B                                           E
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before

            E                                             B
They had to change the style a little, but it looked just fine

       B                                              E
Stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time

           E                                        B
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's walkin' down the aisle

          B                                  E
I see her catch my eye, and give me a secret smile

           E                                         B
Maybe it's too old fashioned, but we once were close friends

           B                                            E
Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could've then

            A
Well, I can see her now in her tight blue jeans

E
Pumpin' all her money in the record machine

A
Spinnin' like a top, you should've seen her go

E                                          
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

E                          B                 E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

          E                                                 B
Well, the proud daddy only want to give his little girl the best

      B                                         E
So he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest

               E                                      B
You could have called the reception an unqualified success

      B                                  E
At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

             E                                         B
Well, take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie

        B                                          E
Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye

         E                                      B
He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice

        B                                                     E
But I remember a time when she never would have looked at him twice

            A
Well, I can see her now drinkin' with the boys

E
Breakin' their hearts like they were toys

    A                                        
She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll

E                                          
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

            A
Well, I can see her now with her walkman on

E
Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song

          A
I still remember when she used to want to make a lot of noise

E
Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys

    A
She used to wanna party, used to wanna go

E
